Smart living for independence

Eight new 'smart living' apartments were opened in 2013 to support people with disability to lead more independent lives.

The high-tech apartments at The Square in Woodville West are equipped with innovative South Australian technology that assists people who need 24-hour support.

The apartments are a major step forward in housing for people with disability, providing tenants with greater control over their environment and the ability to easily communicate with others.

The cutting-edge technology includes a call system, environmental controls and communications devices such as smart phones, which are all integrated into one system.

Using such technology affords people greater dignity and independence by reducing reliance on paid support staff and minimising the time staff are in clients' homes.
